4.4 Dealer calibration

For information on how to access Dealer calibration see Accessing the Calibration
modes .
WARNING: Dealer calibration
Changing the Dealer calibration values can have a significant
affect on the SPX-5 Tiller system steering characteristics and
therefore on the safety of your boat.
Some Dealer calibration values are adjusted during the commissioning process (see
Chapter 3: Commissioning & setup ), and once the SPX-5 Tiller system has been
commissioned you should not normally need to change Dealer calibration values.
However if you decide you want to change values in Dealer calibration, be aware that
the Dealer calibration mode includes items that have a significant impact on SPX-5
Tiller system operation and can affect your boat's safety.
Options
Range = 1 to 9
Level 1 to 3 minimizes the amount of pilot activity. This conserves
power, but may compromise short-term course-keeping accuracy.
Level 4 to 6 should give good course keeping with crisp, well con-
trolled turns under normal operating conditions
Level 7 to 9 gives the tightest course keeping and greatest rudder
activity (and power consumption). This can lead to a rough passage
in open waters as the SPX-5 Tiller system may 'fight' the sea.
